Logoai

LogoAI

LogoAI (logoai.com) is a paid browser SaaS, not a library or API. An AI engine generates logo candidates from a name + industry + style preferences; editing is free, but every download costs money — one-time packages, no subscription. There is no public generation API, no npm package. A human does the browser session and the checkout; this skill owns what to tell them and everything after the zip arrives.

Pricing and packages (verified Aug 2026 — recheck logoai.com/pricing; the chart is JS-rendered)

Extras: repeat-purchase code LOGOPRO (40–60% off 2nd+ logos); "Designer Manual Fix" +$40 for up to 3 human revisions. Generating and previewing costs nothing — pay only when a candidate is chosen.

Always steer the purchase to Pro or Brand. Web integration without an SVG means shipping raster logos, and every step of references/integration.md assumes vector input.

Licensing — read before any commercial launch

Blunt summary of LogoAI's terms (logoai.com/term) plus US copyright reality:

• You buy a license, not the copyright. The terms state no trademark, copyright, or service marks are conveyed. No use at all until payment.
• No uniqueness guarantee. LogoAI performs no trademark/copyright search and disclaims any duty to. Template-driven AI output can resemble other customers' logos or existing marks. Run your own trademark search (USPTO TESS or counsel) before the mark fronts a commercial product.
• Purely AI-generated art is likely not copyrightable at all under current US Copyright Office guidance (human authorship requirement) — so nobody may hold enforceable copyright in the mark. Real protection for a logo is trademark registration through use in commerce, which you can pursue regardless of copyright status.
• Ownership of a purchased logo can be transferred between LogoAI accounts (relevant when generating on a client's behalf).

Acceptable risk for an MVP or internal tool; a funded company should treat a LogoAI mark as a placeholder and budget for a designed identity.

Selection — the human's browser trip

1. Before generating, extract a direction: 3–5 references via the logosystem skill, distilled into style/mood/type vocabulary (monoline, geometric, wordmark-only…). Feeding LogoAI a real brief beats roulette.
2. Send the human to https://www.logoai.com/logo-maker with: exact brand name and tagline spelling, industry, 2–3 style keywords, and brand hex codes if they exist (pairs with the uicolors skill's scale).
3. Tell them what to buy: Pro minimum; Brand only if the kit will be used. Request/keep: full-color SVG, single-color SVG (the dark-mode workhorse), mark-only SVG if the design is a lockup.
4. Stop and wait. Do not scaffold imports for files that don't exist. Expected on receipt: a zip with SVG/EPS/PNG; put sources in public/brand/.

Integration — after the zip arrives

Full code in references/integration.md. The non-negotiables:

• Clean the SVG first: SVGO, strip fixed width/height, keep viewBox — same discipline as the haikei skill documents; generated SVGs often carry editor cruft and outlined-text bloat.
• Favicons/app icons via Next.js file conventions: app/icon.svg, app/favicon.ico, app/apple-icon.png — derived from the mark, never the full lockup.
• Header logo inline with currentColor (single-color variant) so one asset themes with text-* utilities; multi-color needs explicit dark: swaps (this repo is darkMode: "class" — media-query tricks won't follow the toggle).
• OG image: static app/opengraph-image.png (1200×630) composed from the logo with generous margin.
• Clearspace as CSS padding, and lockup-vs-mark responsive swapping — patterns shared with the logosystem skill's references/implementation.md.

When not to use

• Funded/brand-led company: commission a designer; AI logos are template-adjacent.
• You only need placeholder identity for a demo: a set-in-type wordmark (repo fonts, see bestfreefonts) is free and often classier.
• You need inspiration, not generation — logosystem.
• The "logo" is really an illustration or 3D hero — spline / haikei territory.

Anti-patterns

• Shipping the Basic package's raster into a codebase (blurry header, no theming).
• Skipping the trademark search because "the AI made it" — it can still infringe.
• Putting the full lockup in a favicon (illegible at 16–48px).
• Recoloring a multi-color mark with CSS filters for dark mode.
• Claiming files exist before the human confirms the purchase and download.
